It's been a while since I've built a truck. Here goes a KW Dt build. Bought the bed from Reg because I liked the new look.

Using some PMD air cleaners, Steves tanks and rims, Russ's bumper I sent some stuff out to get chromed, painted the rest KW orange. Going to try to get it together this week for Saturday's show.

Don't forget the 800hp engine that's in it! That's going to be a great looking truck when you get it done.

Hey Reg, been busy with NASA work and BVI. Finally settled down a bit and have a few junior engineers help to lighten my load so I can get back to building a little. Love the box by the way.

It's great to see orange trucks again !

Thanks Mike. Love the orange trucks too.

Put a few hours in and got it just about ready to haul dirt. Stayed with a tandem due to the box length and had to move the stripes a bit.

My buddy Bob painted it for me, he used KW orange, base coat clear coat with a heavy single shot clear on it. Makes it look like candy.

Thanks Speedy, I tried the lift axle but the bed was just a little too short to fit it under there and keep the KW steps and fuel tank.
